With our first Canadian office opening in 1921, we’ve been at the forefront of the IP industry here for 100 years. Based in Ottawa and Toronto, from start-ups to large corporations, we help Canadian companies protect, enforce and maximise the value of their intellectual property within Canada and internationally.
Marks & Clerk has the expertise to provide a full range of intellectual property and related services to Canadian clients:
With Marks & Clerk, you get local and global expertise. While our Canadian offices provide all the service and relationship benefits of a small firm, we’re powered by large firm resources, through our global network of offices and one of the largest teams of IP experts in the world. We can protect and enforce your brands, innovations and original works in Canada, throughout the Americas and further afield.
Our clients range from start-ups to established global brands. We manage IP portfolios across the world for famous names in many industries including automotive, finance, fashion, retail, entertainment, consumer goods, hospitality, FMCG, pharmaceutical and more.
We play an active role in shaping the IP profession, with many of our practitioners holding committee and leadership positions in the IP profession’s key membership organisations, including IPIC, AIPLA, AIPPI, INTA, FICPI, LES, The Copyright Society, ALAI, Ad Standards and others.
